1988 Isuzu Trooper S review from North America
"Great truck, but has flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermal valve, piston rings, head gasket, harmonic balancer spun around is no longer correct for timing, exhaust is rusted, back up lights, and driver's seat springs shot.
General comments?
I am just amending what I have said in an earlier review. I will be rebuilding the engine here shortly and that should take care of a lot of problems.
